Fairmont Northern California hotels

"In a good area for shopping and dining with plenty of options nearby. The historic room we were staying in had no mini fridge or microwave though, so we couldn’t bring leftovers back with us. Though they don’t have breakfast, they have coffee and tea available in the morning. Hot tub access is first come, first serve and you have private access for an hour. It’s a lovely little area and quite relaxing. The room fit our needs as we were there as tourists and didn’t spend a lot of time in the room, but the historic rooms are small enough that only bedside tables, the bed, and an armoire fits, so if you are expecting a desk to work at, you’ll need to go to nearby coffee shops. "

"Air conditioning was fine. I could smell bacon cooking every morning and the room always smelled like bacon. "

"Great location and friendly staff! "

"Location and affordability are the best reason to stay at Embassy - you are in the middle of it all and can walk or ride within minutes of most of the best Downtown has. The location is gritty by some standards but the community around the Embassy pretty much stays to themselves - you are next to some great schools and great local restaurants - the Embassy is very clean, it is an older building and its age shows, but the staff keep things in great order. We had a double room which was very spacious there is no a/c but the window fully opened and let cooler air into the room. The floors and walls are thin - depending who your neighbors are you will hear conversations and know when they are walking around their rooms. The restroom is a great size good amenities and the shower/tub worked well. The room had an iron and board and hair dryer television is DirecTV and familiar to operate. Overall - if you're in town and need a safe comfortable affordable place to be your starting point in the city and your resting place in the evening your won't go wrong with the Embassy. "

"Great location. Near the waterfront and North Beach (you can walk to everything. Unfortunately, my room needed a reno. The carpet, shower head and office chair need to go. I also don't think it was cleaned very well. "

"I was able to hear noise from other rooms. "

"Check in wasn't overly friendly, but job was done. No issues checking in. Short walk to the room, big and comfortable. No view to speak of, but can pay more to get a 3rd floor which may offer a view. Breakfast up on 3rd floor, which is only accessible by lift. No stair option apparently. Breakfast was a simple continental option. Which was sufficient. Check out was easy and friendly."

"We didn't use the pool."

"Great location with a bit of history for the movie buffs. Easy walk down to Union Square and transport options all around. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. "
